Indigenous microalgae strains characterization for a sustainable biodiesel production
This study identified and analyzed indigenous microalgae strains for biodiesel production, specifically Chlorella vulgaris and Coelastrella thermophila var. globulina, from two distinct locations in Algeria. Molecular identification confirmed their identity, and the microalgae exhibited notable growth characteristics. Local Chlorella vulgaris and Coelastrella thermophila var. globulina showed a good growth and high biomass yield, compared to Chlorella vulgaris CCAP211/11B reaching a weight of 1.48 g/L, 1.95g/L and 2.10 g/L, respectively. Lipids content of local Chlorella vulgaris, Coelastrella thermophila var. globulina, a...

Influence of super-optimal light intensity on the acetic acid uptake and microalgal growth in mixotrophic culture of Chlorella sorokiniana in bubble-column photobioreactors
This study seeks to determine the influence of super-optimal light intensity on acetic acid uptake and its associated impact on the cellular composition of Chlorella sorokiniana in a semi-batch mixotrophic cultivation setup. Unicellular green microalga Chlorella sorokiniana is grown in a 1L bubble-column photobioreactor at light intensities from 6000 to 14,000 lx (≈81 to 189 µmol.photons.m-2.s-1). We find that microalgal acetic acid utilization reduces as illumination increases from an optimal 10,000 lx (≈135 µmol.photons.m-2.s-1) to a super-optimal zone (>10000 lx). This lowers microalgal growth (2.75 g/L) and ac...

Application of ANN-MOGA for nutrient sequestration for wastewater remediation and production of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) by Chlorella sorokiniana MSP1
Chemosphere. 2023 Dec 1:140835. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140835. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChlorella bears excellent potential in removing nutrients from industrial wastewater and lipid production enriched with polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, due to the changing nutrient dynamics of wastewater, growth and metabolic activity of Chlorella are affected. In order to sustain microalgal growth in wastewater with concomitant production of PUFA rich lipids, RSM (Response Surface Methodology) followed by heuristic hybrid computation model ANN-MOGA (Artificial Neural Network- Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm) were ...

Length-dependent toxic effects of microplastic fibers on Chlorella pyrenoidosa
In this study, we scrutinized the toxicological implications of microplastic fibers (MFs) spanning four distinct lengths (50 μm, 100 μm, 150 μm, and 200 μm) on the protein-nucleated algae Chlorella pyrenoidosa over a six-day period. The study unequivocally demonstrated that MFs markedly impeded C. pyrenoidosa growth, diminished photosynthetic pigment content, and induced oxidative stress, with all observed effects exhibiting a length-dependent correlation. Electron microscopy further revealed notable damage to algal cell membranes. Cell membrane shrinkage, cytoplasm outflow, and abnormalities in cell division were obse...

EPS-corona formation on graphene family nanomaterials (GO, rGO and graphene) and its role in mitigating their toxic effects in the marine alga Chlorella sp
Environ Pollut. 2023 Nov 24:123015. doi: 10.1016/j.envpol.2023.123015. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGFNs have widespread applications but can harm marine systems due to excessive use and improper disposal. Algae-secreted EPS can mitigate nanomaterial harm, but their impact on GFN toxicity is understudied. Hence, in the present study, we investigated the toxicity of three GFNs, graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO), and graphene, in pristine and EPS-adsorbed forms in the marine alga Chlorella sp. At an environmentally relevant concentration of 1 mgL-1, all three GFNs induced considerable oxidative stress and im...
